Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is being threatened with a $500 fine by the House Sergeant at Arms. His crime? Massie showed his treasonous colleagues in the House of Representatives waving Ukraine flags on the House floor after they voted to send more than $90 billion in aid to several foreign countries.

The raucous display by most of the House members after the vote passed was one of the most insulting things that has ever happened in the House of Representatives. Congressman waving foreign flags? Who do these people think their real bosses are? (Answer: Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, in that order.)

To their credit, several Republicans expressed immediate outrage over their colleagues waving a foreign flag in the American people’s house. Presiding Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-NY) banged the gavel and called for order while trying to state that “flag-waving on the floor is not appropriate.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) was more to the point: “Put those damn flags away!”

Rep. Massie was also disgusted by the display of disloyalty to the American people, which was why he posted the video to Twitter/X. That prompted an immediate threat from the House Sergeant at Arms, who is supposed to work for the Speaker of the House. Massie could either censor himself by removing the post or face a $500 fine.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), who also voted in favor of the American taxpayers and against the bloated Ukraine bill, immediately cut Massie a $500 check and told him to leave the video up. The American voters deserve to see who our so-called “representatives” in Congress are representing.
